Method

0
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
1
Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to your desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Place chicken in a baking pan.
2
Combine 3/4 of the lemon juice, onion, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, and oregano in a bowl. Pour marinade over the chicken.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute tomatoes for 3 minutes. Add spinach; season with salt and remaining lemon juice. Cook and stir until spinach is slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the chicken in the pan. Sprinkle feta cheese on top.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
